There is a level of violence that has come to churches over the last ten years that is unprecedented. We have seen work place violence, school violence, and now church violence at an alarming rate. How many pastors, or people in a place of leadership see this as a potential threat? If not why? If so what are the proactive churches doing to make a difference? Take a look at Dr. John Nicoletti’s short article on causes and cures.

Many of the perpetrators in these crimes announce in some way their intention to do harm. With that being said what is necessary for the church to do to monitor this behavior? When does keeping an eye on someone that has overtly made a threat become too much/if at all? What right do we have to protect our congregation and how do we not cross a line of privacy/political correctness/gossip?
